Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?
Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

Is that too low of a load? Would the SE output be more appropriate?
Too bad we cannot send PM in here...
- Is that really 4V P-P, or 4Vrms?
- Why is the SE output limited to the same value as the balanced/bridged one?
- With the 0.9A limit stated above, I would have thought the maximum voltage on a 12 ohm load would have been 9V
- What happens when the current limit is reached? Isn't the unit protected? Can it really be damaged?
Amir tested this in his ASR review, and managed to trigger the protection circuit on a 24 ohm load at 5.5W (more than 11V!) with unstable behavior after that: https://bit.ly/2SGTMWv So, is it safe to drive 12 ohms compression driver to full power with this device?...
